As for the data of the killed Russian soldiers, a publication appeared today. According to the study, approx. 47,000 Russian soldiers have died.

Mordor started the invasion with about 200,000 orcs. Then they were forced to conduct a mobilization, adding how much? If I remember correctly, they added more than 300,000 orcs. But the results and territorial changes were barely noticeable.

Therefore 47,000 are highly unlikely. I think the Ukrainian estimates are closer to the truth than this.

What do the aliens look like? We have all kinds of reports and claims, people have seen them and believe they have been abducted. What do aliens look like in their descriptions. That's a pretty basic and simple question? Is there any group consensus or collective way to describe the alien appearance?

What do UFOs look like. I mean, I can describe an airplane, boat or a car, can someone describe what the aliens travel in? No I don't expect anyone to understand the propulsion systems, just some nice basic data to build from?

 There are all kind of photos and claims. Darn near everyone now carries a camera/phone that can take photos or video. I would expect we'd have more and better images, than in the old days.

After the disclosure or the official first contact, you should be able to buy an encyclopedia of aliens with illustrations. If you survive the ontological shock.

For now, the field is so muddied with hoaxes and disinformation, that for the average person it is difficult to figure out what is true.

Listen to serious and credible people like Elizondo, Nolan, Coulthart or Valle�. You will not hear stories about the Galactic Federation or alien races from them. But what you hear from them sounds very serious. Elizondo and Nolan probably cannot disclose everything they know and have seen. Look up that famous "somber" comment from Elizondo...

There are plenty of reports from "experiences", just look for them. There are some recurring "races" of aliens in their stories, but it is up to you to judge how credible a given experiencer is. I will not do that for you. I am not trying to convince anyone about anything, but I wish some people expanded their intellectual horizons a little. It is great to be an open-minded skeptic, but it is stupid to be a denialist.

Why haven't we had a disclosure or an official first contact yet? Well, just look at this thread... Denialists and religious fundamentalists on the whole planet would probably go berserk... But things have accelerated greatly in the recent months for some reason. I think we are approaching that moment.

But the problem is indeed that many russians that live abroad, who are integrated, for instance here in Germany, speak German, have a job, work well..are amazing supporters of putin.

He seems to be their murderous version of Trump.

And unlike the Germans in the 1930s after the * took over all media, they have access to any information they want right on their mobile phone.

And yet they choose to believe the most outrageous stuff, that Ukraine is destroying their own country, klling their own children just to take pictures and stage videos...

How is this possible?

I am seeing what is Germanys cruel history being recreated in 2023 in a totally public way.

For those in russia, I don't know what centuries of being slaves does to you.

But those abroad? Why?

I think the reason is the gigantic russian inferiority complex. Deep down, they know they lost the Cold War, they know that their country sucks, many people don't have toilets or running water. And putin turned their inferiority complex into a superiority propaganda. A gigantic lie and a scam. But it made them happy.

actually your mention of a shadow biosphere says the exact opposite - that there may be such organisms that evolved here on earth

Thank you, Captain Obvious. I wrote that "such lifeforms would seem 'alien' to us" (without being alien). Where's the lie?

OK I thought you were saying this is some kind of proof of alien life forms, when it was instead a deformed fetus that had DNA defects.

I also wondered how someone claiming it was Alien DNA (not you, someone else) would have alien DNA to compare it to, instead of jumping to the conclusion that, since they don't know why it's different, it must be space visitors.

You don't need to know alien what DNA is like to confirm that some species is not from Earth, or rather not part of the same evolutionary tree as us.

But if there is a shadow biosphere (hypothetical) on Earth, such lifeforms would also seem "alien" to us:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_biosphere

Nolan talked about such a possibility in some interviews.

Yet we can't seem to figure out, where they come from. Air, underground or from the water?

Because we are not very smart as a species, in the grand scheme of things. The US military has reports of trans-medium craft, operating in the air and under water at speeds and acceleration beyond our science.

Never thought I would see German history being repeated like this.

It is not exactly repeated. Contemporary Russia is just a caricature of Nazi Germany. Obviously, Putin was inspired by Hitler, but the execution has been pathetic.

his account is much more nuanced in an interview he discussed some of this work -- many individuals had been found to have similar brain 'damage' without disability , among them pilots who saw UFO but many had MRI showing damage before claims of seeing UFO)

Question: How does the impact of electromagnetic frequencies factor into your hypotheses about what exactly transpired here?
With one of the patients, it happened on the Skinwalker Ranch. Given how deep into their brain the damage went, we can actually estimate the amount of energy required in the electromagnetic wave someone aimed at them. We don't think that has anything to do with UAPs. We think that that's some sort of a state actor and again related to Havana syndrome somehow.

https://www.vice.com/en/article/n7nzkq/stanford-professor-garry-nolan-analyzing-anomalous-materials-from-ufo-crashes

it's an interesting, detailed interview in which Nolan  says "  The data is there�  the explanation is not."

question:How many objects {alleged to have fallen from UFO} have you checked out that are not playing by our rules?
So of the 10 or 12 that I've looked at, two seem to be not playing by our rules. That doesn't mean that they're levitating, on my desk or anything, it just means that they have altered isotope ratios....Let's say we didn't have transistors today and one of these objects dropped a big chunk of germanium doped with other elements, or, you know, these little transistors. We would not have a clue as to the function, and we would ask 'why would anyone put arrays of germanium with these strange impurities in them� what is this thing?' "

it's an unexplained instance but doesnt follow other claims that these are metals unknown on earth - they can be reproduced.

As you can see yourself, he is not a "UFO performer" or part of the UFO Entertainment Industry. He examines stuff, and if something is of human origin, he will just gladly say the way it is. He has a reputation and I don't think that he could have motivation to tell lies.

But here is a recent interview with Nolan:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2DqdOw6Uy4

Recorded about 1 month ago. I don't care much what people like Greer, Corbell, de Long or Knapp say about UFOs. But when Nolan says something like that, it has a certain weight. And what he said was a bomb, as a matter of fact. Nolan has connections to the Pentagon and the CIA and he must have seen some stuff, about which he is not yet authorized to talk in detail right now. But I think we will slowly get to that point.

Your link is from 2021, and since then a LOT has happened in this field. I used to be on the fence a few years ago, but now not so much.

Denialism is just as stupid as the Ancient Aliens show, whose authors seem to see "aliens" almost everywhere. Same thing, just the opposite direction.

The UFO propaganda machine is designed to tell the lies over and over and also discredit anything that doesn't agree with the propaganda version of the story. Anything that shows evidence that does follow the story line is vigorously attacked, but anything that follows the propaganda mission is accepted without questioning.

They claim to be searching for the truth but instead are ignoring the facts that would show their claims are vague fantasy science fiction.

This may be true for some, maybe even for many people in this field. But your claim is arrogant and ignorant.

Garry Nolan was asked to examine the Atacama skeleton. Stephen Greer was convinced that it was extraterrestrial. Garry Nolan examined the skeleton, and guess what. He said it was human. He had no problems to admit it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atacama_skeleton

If you accuse serious researchers and respected scientists like Garry Nolan of being part of "UFO propaganda", you are making a fool of yourself. There are some clowns in the field, yes, but people like Nolan are the real deal. Look at his scientific achievements, registered patents, position and reputation in the world of science. And then listen to what he says about UFOs.

In a single spade of earth there are hundreds of life forms. On our planet trillions and trillions from bacteria to mammals. In that universe ... the simplest explanation is not interdemensional beings.

Not if the theories of people like Donald Hoffman are correct (and I think they might be). And not if what is reported by people who experienced astral projections is part of the "objective reality". Check Robert Monroe's books or other people who report similar things. They open a door to a whole new reality.

That would be very "woo", but maybe woo is just the way things are in the grand scheme of things. Do you want to experience weird things yourself (without taking ayuhuasca, DMT or any drugs)? Try this program used by the CIA for years, the report was declassified some time ago:

https://www.vice.com/en/article/7k9qag/how-to-escape-the-confines-of-time-and-space-according-to-the-cia

I have been doing it since last year, and it is amazing. I feel much better and stronger. I was able to control (completely "switch off") physical pain with my mind a few times and it shocked me as it happened instantly. Some experiences can be mind-blowing. And I am just a beginner, advanced users often report super-woo things.

What do you think would happen if we had real, incontrovertible evidence of aliens?  For example, if they landed a ship on the White House lawn or at UN headquarters and demanded a meeting with our leaders?  Would it unite all of the world's population?  Would it cause people to abandon their religions?  Give up on our governments?

Why would world governments hide evidence of alien contact if it existed?  Would they be afraid of worldwide panic?  That's the part I've never understood - if aliens have made contact, why hide it?

The consequences are impossible to predict, unless you have access to time travel. And they would greatly depend on the type and "nature" of the visitors. In any case, it would be a massive paradigm change. And if there are multiple factions of visitors with different agendas, it complicates things even more.

The word "aliens" suggests ETs from another planet - similar to us, just much more advanced. But it is very limiting. Check the hypotheses of Jacques Vallee.

Imagine the visitors do not come from our universe at all. Or they understand and can operate in 4, 5, 6 spatial dimensions and maybe 2 temporal dimensions. We would be like Flatland for them. Or maybe they can completely transcend spacetime. Hasn't Grusch claimed that one of the craft is bigger inside than on the outside and that time flows differently inside?

What if the visitors had engineered the development of mankind and it was revealed? Or what if the Loosh Farm theory is close to the truth? What if among the visitors are future humans trying to protect or change the timeline?

This would probably destroy our societies... I think I could handle the truth after having read many theories, hypotheses and ideas. But I don't think most people could handle the truth because they have spent all their lives only within the current mainstream paradigms and just cannot imagine anything else. It would be an ontological shock for them.

It would be kind of funny, though, if Star Trek, The X-Files, Stargate, etc. all showed some pieces of the truth. There is a theory that popular culture might be part of "soft disclosure" - getting people used to such ideas, so that it is not such a big shock when the day comes.

For now, it seems that most skeptics are stunned and don't really know what to say. Grusch's case is either psyops on a gigantic scale or what the guy says is basically the truth. What a time to be alive...

For all skeptics:

Garry Nolan is a professor at Stanford University School of Medicine. From what I have read and heard, his work is brilliant and perhaps Nobel-prize worthy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garry_Nolan
 
He holds quite many patents:

https://patents.justia.com/inventor/garry-p-nolan

He is also a consultant of the US Intelligence in the field of UAPs.

What is most interesting is that G. Nolan is an "experiencer" himself. As a teenager, he saw a UFO following him and he saw a Grey alien in his room. He also had telepathic contact with non-human entities.

Answer yourself, how likely would it be for someone in his position and with his achievements to make this up. And would such a person be then trusted by the US Intelligence? He is not some dude with a YouTube channel about conspiracy theories. He probably has enough money and fame...

Here he talks about the connection of the phenomenon with consciousness:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSZUBulON6I&t=2684s

As he is an expert for the CIA and Pentagon, it can be expected that he cannot say everything publicly, but he must have seen some really interesting things.
